[Year 12 SofDev] RE: Q8 revisited

[Laurie Savage]

It's disturbing for a paper to contain questions that need to be thought
about over the weekend. Our students don't have that luxury.

I had another think about this question over the weekend. With pilot
implementation, I would run the pilot until there has been enough time to
evalulate the system before introducing it elsewhere. I wouldn't think a
fortnight is enough time to evaluate a new system suggesting this perhaps
was not pilot. 

 

In regards to a glossary, I believe that any term that has several
interpretations depending on what book you read, what university you went
to, who you worked for etc. should be included to ensure we all know what
the VCAA expect. 

 

Something this study design's glossary did well for me was to clear up
exactly when the logical and physical designs are made and what tools are
expected to be used for each.

i.e. analysis phase = make logical design and logical design tools include
DFD's and data dictionaries.

design phase =  create physical design using tools including structure
charts and system flow charts.

If you read textbooks or the web there is certainly no fixed model for this.
(logical design is often in the design phase)
